Hi John Yes I concede Cool  
Mark




I love the KOLB in fact I came this close  l<--->l   to buying one BUT the need for such a LONG trailer
to store and transport it to flying sites I want to some day visit is what deters me....


That is a nice advantage the Trike has over Fix wings... Very Portable... 
And thats probably Why they cost so damn much for what you get... 8-(

Mark:

Most of us, on the Kolb List, have already made the decision to build and fly Kolbs. I've been doing just that for many, many years and flight hours.

I, personally, am not interested in trikes, hang gliders, paragliders, etc. If I was, I'd have one, and be on a List that was dedicated to them.

I believe the only requirement to be a member of the Kolb List is to sign up and keep our posts Kolb related. Not much more to it.

I built my airplanes to fly, not to haul around on top of, or behind, my truck.

Well, lots of us (including me!) did choose a Kolb for the ability to haul it behind a truck. If I couldn't keep it in a trailer I wouldn't be flying it.

Dana:

When I spoke of flying and not hauling, I was speaking strictly for myself. I understand there are a lot of folks that have no choice, and a lot of folks that like to put their Kolb in a trailer and haul it around behind their cars and trucks. That is the primary reason Homer has designed all his airplanes from the Ultrastar forward with folding wings. It is still a very big selling point for TNK.

I have been very fortunate. Never had to trailer my Kolbs, except to get them from the shop to the airstrip, and to retrieve them when I broke them beyond their capability to fly me home. Been flying out of a little 750 grass strip in the cow pasture for more than 24 years. In fact, got a chance today to share that airstrip, the mkIII, the cows, the cow manure, antique tractors, with some mighty fine folks from Pennsylvania, Terry and Pat Frantz, my old friends from south of Smoketown, PA. Terry is the man that organizes the Homer Kolb Father's Day Flyins. Was totally surprised when they came driving in my drive pulling a popup camper, unannounced. The beauty of the whole thing is he was delayed by 30 minutes trying to find a Shell fuel station. I had returned from a trip to Mobile, Alabama, 10 minutes prior to their arrival. Had they not gotten lost trying to find the Shell Station, I would not have been at home, and we would have missed each other. We had a great visit. Always good to spend time with Kolb friends.

When I make comments on the Kolb List, I make them for myself and not others. I try not to give advice, but to share what I have done right or wrong in situations that involve building and flying Kolbs. I personally do not like to get advice from people that have little or no experience flying Kolbs in matters that are pertinent to Kolbs.

Guess I better get down off my soapbox. Got a bc msg to check my meds. Wink

Take care,

Dana:

Forgot to mention in my previous response, I have quite a bit of experience trailering Kolbs. In fact, I broke my mkIII,1 July 2000, at Muncho Lake in northern BC, Canada. Did a very good job of breaking it. It was unflyable and would take some extensive repairs to get it flying again. The best course of action was return home to Alabama, get the truck and trailer, then drive 3,742 miles from hauck's holler, alabama, to Muncho Lake, BC. Took a couple days to configure the trailer, load the mkIII, secure it, and depart for Oshkosh. We made it to OSH the first day of the flyin, mkIII in tow. From OSH back home was another thousand miles and a couple more days. Took 30 days from the time I crashed until I got the mkIII home.

Some of you may have been at OSH that year. I gave a briefing on how to cut a flight to Barrow, AK, OSH, and home, short in flight hours, but long in driving and hauling.

Take care,

john h

That's a l-o-n-g drive! And I thought my 570 mile round trip seemed long...

Thought it seems a lot longer when you know you have a bent axle... and as you know it's a good thing it wasn't even one mile longer...
